AGRICULTURE: Pesticide testing Sept. 13 in Washington

The Iowa Department of Ag and Land Stewardship (IDALS) will offer pesticide testing on Friday, Sept. 13, at the Washington County Extension office.

All tests are available at this site and will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. Tests are administered by the IDALS. Because it might be necessary to cancel or reschedule a test date or site, it is recommended those who are taking the test to confirm the test time and site before travel.

IDALS offers testing monthly at the Washington County Extension, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April through December.

Study materials are available for purchase from the local Extension office or online from Iowa State University at https://www.extension.iastate.edu/store/ then select the tab 'Agriculture & Environment” and 'Pesticide Applicator Training Manuals.”

For more information, contact Washington County Extension at 319-653-4811 or IDALS Pesticide Bureau at 515-281-8591.
